THE DUCK AND THE KANGAROOBy Edward Lear
Photo-illustrated by Jane Wattenberg Meet Duck.Duck has a yen for travel and adventure. Duck also has some very wet, cold feet and a gift for loyalty and compromise. Meet Kangaroo. Kangaroo has been around the world and back, and is looking for a little bit of luck. Or a duck. When Duck and Kangaroo meet, it’s a match made in . . . heaven. Ah, love—ain’t it grand? And who so happy,—O who, As the Duck and the Kangaroo? “Masterful…Wattenberg’s quirky photo collages are perfectly suited for Lear’s nonsensical text.” — Booklist “Top marks for visual exuberance; this is the first separate edition of the verses available in this country in decades.” — Kirkus Reviews “This title’s delightfully silly verse, paired perfectly with elaborate pictures to scrutinize, should not be missed.” — School Library Journal |
